Why are you not listening to God's Word being shared by God's people? It is you who are accountable to God for what you hear and what you do with what you hear. It is you that will stand before God some day and have to tell Him why you refused to not only hear His Word being spoken, but rebelled against having to obey His Word.
It is not enough to just hear God's Word being preached into your ears; you must let it fall on your heart, as well. Anyone can memorize words and repeat them back to themselves or others; but it takes The Holy Spirit to recall to mind at times of crises, the storms in our lives, to bring the spoken Word of God back to us, that we may declare with our mouths and our tongues that "Thus sayeth The Word of The Lord God".
Your refusals to hear and obey God have brought the Famine for the Hearing of The Word of God to you and those who are around you. You can deny your responsibility all you want to, that doesn't make you right.
One of these days God will call His people (all believers) into His eternal presence. He will send His Son Jesus Christ once again to this planet, not to die (for that has already been done by Him), but to bring us home with Him. We who believe call this moment in time "the rapture", or 'caught up in the air with Him and so shall we ever be'.
We who preach the gospel of salvation through Jesus Christ, and Him crucified and resurrected, are God's people, God's children. We who teach The Word of God and live it are leaving soon. And very soon.
It is at that time that there will be a world-wide famine for the hearing of The Word of God. You who chose not to believe will see that God's Word is True and Faithful. Some of you will believe then and search God's Word and seek God's face. You will repent of your wicked ways and believe. But you will pay a high price for such faith. As those who have gone before you will testify, you will have to choose between your new-found belief in God, your faith in His Christ, and denying God. Your reward depends on your choice.
Choosing to stay with God will bring about your immediate and swift death at the hands of those who are in constant rebellion against God's Word. But know, also, that choosing to stay with God will bring you into His eternal presence where you will live eternally, for ever and ever, time without end, with Him and His people. For upon your repentance and belief, you became His people, too.
